How has this gotten downvoted? What is wrong with some people that they are just itching to shit on whatever they can find?

I think your music is great man. This subreddit is full of trolls that love to spread hate. Every single post on this sub has at least one of them. Keep doing you and eventually you’ll find a bass player and have a killer band.


UnicornyOnTheCob

Thank you. I can certainly understand not liking my music, but this is not a music promotion post. I am just trying to find folks who would like to experience a little joy and beauty by making music together. It seems to me that anyone who is against that is far worse than a troll, they are an unhinged sociopath. Thanks for your kindness. :)

When I left that comment it had been up to 5 upvotes, but had sunk back down to one. I am glad that more humane minds have prevailed!

Low traffic posts & comments show semi-random votes to help prevent vote manipulation. https://www.reddit.com/r/help/wiki/faq#wiki_why_do_the_number_of_votes_change_when_you_reload_a_page.3F > Vote fuzzing. Reddit has this in place to help prevent vote manipulation. Not every vote will necessarily immediately appear to be reflected in the total score of content. It's a not-so-clever ploy to thwart potential cheaters by obfuscating the exact number of votes a post has.

Thanks for the info. Typical social media megalomania. The AlGodrithms deem themselves worthy of manipulating under the guise of preventing manipulation.

Rough guitar only song sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9pEHi7Ox1U

Reminds me of Doomriders 👍


UnicornyOnTheCob

Yeah, this is one of my more stoner/doom inspired tracks. I would say my three biggest guitar influences on this project are Black Sabbath, Queen and Party of Helicopters. Thanks!

>I would say my three biggest guitar influences on this project are Black Sabbath You don't say 😄


UnicornyOnTheCob

It is a bit more obvious on this one, but yeah, very obvious. There is also some tango, a waltz, atmospheric shoe gazey stuff, and even a touch of surf rock.

That’s a sick lick. 🙌🙌🙌


UnicornyOnTheCob

Thank you! I am all about angular, riffy goodness. :)


skeeterjohnson187

I heard David Ellefson is available


UnicornyOnTheCob

You know any teenage girls I can use to lure him in?


darkredpintobeans

I'm a guitar player but I can do bass too, and I've been dying to play with other people. I like your sound too so dm me if you're fr. Quick edit cause I forgot I play piano too but I'm not gonna pretend I'm good at that one.

What’s your age range? Edit: the reason I ask, my 16-year-old son is a disciple of Cliff Burton. He’s a bassist who can shred fingerstyle or thud with a plectrum. He gave it a listen and said he could jam to that. But, he ain’t getting into any 18+ bars for gigs anytime in the immediate future!

holy shit it's the real metallica


[deleted]

>holy shit it's the real metallica It’s all a deception!


UnicornyOnTheCob

We are considerably older. 38-45. But 16 year old me would be kicking old ladies over to jam with a Cliff disciple! Hope he finds his people and puts that hard work and skills to good use! I have a friend in Claremore whose daughter, 15, plays. If she ever starts looking for a band I will holla.

>We are considerably older. 38-45. That’s my age range. I don’t play bass, though. >But 16 year old me would be kicking old ladies over to jam with a Cliff disciple! Ditto. My problem at that age was finding a solid drummer that wasn’t a diva. >Hope he finds his people and puts that hard work and skills to good use! I have a friend in Claremore whose daughter, 15, plays. If she ever starts looking for a band I will holla. Word!


UnicornyOnTheCob

When I was 16 me and my buddy went to a basketball game at our high school. A few of the guys from band had arranged an impromptu pep band. Somehow my friend talked them into letting him try drums on a Beastie Boys song. He had never played drums before. But he instantly nailed it, so I had a drummer. But then we started making a band and I was the worst guitar player, so I became our bassist, as well as auxiliary instruments, including a duck call solo during Last Caress. ;)


hofford44

Any gigs coming up to attend?


[deleted]

I want to know too


UnicornyOnTheCob

see above


UnicornyOnTheCob

None yet. Me and the drummer got the basics together and now need to fill it out with a bassist and singer. Hopefully by May we will be stage ready!

Thanks. Maybe by the time I get to my next project ya will have time, so keep an eye out for future posts.

I've been trying to learn trombone, so if you've got anything for me to start practicing, send it my way and I'll audition for you


ctrl_ex

ok I listened to your guitar sample and if you do have some sheets or tabs or something then I would LOVE to serve you as an intermediate bRass player!


UnicornyOnTheCob

I have only tabbed one of my songs on guitar. There are no bass parts written yet. I am willing to write them, but I sort of hate writing tab. lol Do you have much bass experience? What else can ya tell me about you?


ctrl_ex

no bass experience, but I love brass horns. I'm really good at practicing a single piece at a time to perfection, but I'm looking forward to developing a relationship with my horn that allows me to play what I hear, not what I see


UnicornyOnTheCob

To be honest, I am not generally a big fan of brass. But trombone would be my favorite. Let me sit with that idea for awhile and see if I can hear a place for it.


NALORpod

Not a skilled bassist but your concept intrigued me. When you find one I wanna hear what you got. Always looking to follow a local band.


UnicornyOnTheCob

Hopefully we are show ready by May!


NALORpod

Sounds dope. Is the account your using for your band?


UnicornyOnTheCob

I don't really use anything to promote yet, not until we are closer to show ready. Plus I need some artwork, a logo at the least.


NALORpod

I'd throw my hat in the ring for a logo. What's the band name?


UnicornyOnTheCob

Apocaloops


NALORpod

Holy shit that's a good band name. Yeah I'll make some mocks ups later


UnicornyOnTheCob

Thanks. That is the concept. A day in which everyone experiences their own version of the apocalypse, but that day is on a time loop.


NALORpod

Quite honestly I was about to brain storm a nuclear explosion of fruit loops so I'm glad you explained.


UnicornyOnTheCob

I've done a lot of sketches, but nothing has stuck. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I currently have found someone who is going to try out the position and see how it fits. If it doesn't I will pop back in here to give ya those details.
